Great Lakes Airlines was a "non scheduled" airline flying from coast to coast. Fares were $80.00 one way from Philadelphia to Burbank and $99.10 Burbank to Honolulu. Services began with DC-4s which were replaced with DC-6Cs. Great Lakes ceased operations in the early 1960's. Textures only. Model by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson. Textures by Gary Harper.
